In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Justine shares her story of marrying a physical abuser who kidnaps, sexually assaults, and attempts to murder her as his final act of power and control. Justine had just gotten out of an emotionally abusive relationship when she met her future ex-husband. The relationship moved quickly and they were married within the year. As the abuse began, Justine didn't know what to do. She believed in the vows of marriage, plus she didn't want to quit and have two failed marriages so quickly, so she stayed and endured the abuse. And unfortunately for Justine, as soon as she began to take her power back, her abuser did everything he could to make sure that would never happen again. It's a story of control, fear, intimidation, low self-worth, survival, gaining strength, kidnapping, sexual assault, physical abuse, attempted murder, suicide threats, emotional abuse, taking your power back, the healing process, and self reflection. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses sexual assault, suicide, physical abuse and attempted murder. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at [email protected] To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.
